Six-Week Profiles: Q3B+Q3C
A few days ago, we overhauled your current unit of study:
We also updated the daily calendar, which now reflects these changes. You can track your reading, plan your responsive writing, and even set your daily goals in advance.
It’s navigable, but it’s not (nor should it be, at this point in the year) an overly easy road. We will practice for the Regents Exam once a week, with time for revision and reflection; read and write our way through One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest; and use annotations, discussion, and the complete writing process to respond to a high-interest article on “learning to lie.”
As a result, your teachers got together and decided to eliminate the GAP score for Q3B. We will fold those three weeks into the profile-based assessment of the next three weeks, ending with another GAP report on April 5.
This means that you will be able to demonstrate growth, if you struggled recently, and earn a much higher profile score. You will be able to demonstrate more amenability and self-awareness. It’s a chance to look at six weeks worth of progress, not just three, which is exactly what some of you need. (Students already doing well should just keep on keeping on.)
